Video laparoscopic intervention for an interstitial pregnancy after failure of clinical treatment

Abstract: CONTEXT: Interstitial pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy for which the best therapeutic course of action has yet to be determined. Surgical intervention entails a high risk of hemorrhage due to the great vascularization of the cornual region of the uterus. Case descriptions facilitate the analysis of results and aid clinicians in determining the most appropriate course of action in these situations. CASE REPORT: In a patient with an ultrasound diagnosis of interstitial pregnancy, clinical treatment … Show more

“…9 Presence of fetal cardiac activity may be present despite decreasing titer of β HCG after MTX therapy necessitating the surgical management. 10 Also there have been published reports of rupture ectopic following systemic MTX therapy in interstitial ectopic requiring emergency surgical management. 11 Swank ML et al described successful management of three cases of interstitial ectopic pregnancies with combined, intraamniotic or intra fetal KCl and systemic approach using methotrexate to prevent surgery 12 whereas in our case we had done foetal intracardiac injection of 10% KCl.…”

“…En caso de falla del tratamiento médico, se ha descrito desde la intervención quirúrgica hasta el uso de embolización de la rama ascendente de la arteria uterina, provocando la necrosis del tejido trofoblástico. Con lo último, se trataría de preservar la función reproductiva (2,19).…”

“…El embarazo cornual o intersticial, es una variedad rara del embarazo ectópico y sus resultados pueden ser catastróficos (1)(2)(3)(4). Su incidencia es de 1 por cada 2.500 a 5.000 recién nacidos vivos (5,6).…”

“…Algunos autores lo subdividen en angular cuando se implanta medial a la inserción del ligamento redondo, e intersticial al que es lateral a este ligamento (2,3,4), y dejan el término cornual para referirse al embarazo cuando se desarrolla en un cuerno de un útero bicorne (3,4,5). Refieren que hay que distinguir entre estas tres condiciones porque el manejo es diferente; el intersticial es el ectópico con peor pronóstico que requiere siempre tratamiento; el angular se refiere a un embarazo intrauterino viable que se implanta en uno de los ángulos de la cavidad uterina y termina en un aborto involuntario en el 38,5% de los casos, además dolor pélvico persistente o sangrado vaginal recurrente durante el embarazo, retención de la placenta y ruptura uterina, son complicaciones que se pueden presentar.…”
